A look through their site however is in the same vein as CdG am I right? Subverted and unconventional. Liking the look of them so far. <br /><br />As for M/MINK. I'm absolutely in love with M/M and the idea of a collaboration with them and Byredo sounds like a match made in heaven. Still must order a sample soon.<br /><br />As for funnies in fragrance, perhaps absurd smells is the trigger, or punch-line in a fragrance composition?Liam Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475951752794286796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-71629500017956589962011-11-02T18:09:13.748+01:002011-11-02T18:09:13.748+01:00Liam, have you smelled the Humiecki and Graef?

I'm not sure it was an intended effect in the case of the latter. But there was just so much pong in that bottle!carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-23544222879450460312011-11-02T18:07:25.620+01:002011-11-02T18:07:25.620+01:00Exactly, a balance between both ends of the spectr...Exactly, a balance between both ends of the spectrum.

Your review makes it sound much like Parfumerie Generale's Pschyotrope which I have and love. However in Pschyotrope, it's rubbery anesthetic (as opposed to tape) and jasmine (as opposed to lily). Is it anywhere similar (if you have tried Pschyotrope that is)?<br /><br />PS: I have layered CDG's own Lily over Tea and came up with Pschyotrope! Weird huh?!Abdullanoreply@blogger.com
